[0395] In some embodiments, the above method may include the method described in the above-mentioned embodiments of the information processing system 100 side, the network device side, the terminal side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0396] The present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0397] In some embodiments, the network device determines the manner in which the connected terminal performs LP-WUS configuration.

[0398] Optionally, the LP-WUS configuration is used for the terminal to start a first transceiver (low power wake-up receiver) to receive the LP-WUS; the LP-WUS is used to wake up the main receiver (main radio) for data monitoring. Exemplarily, the LP-WUS is used to wake up the main transceiver for PDCCH monitoring.

[0399] Optionally, the LP-WUS configuration indicates that the terminal is used to determine parameter configuration for monitoring the LP-WUS, such as time-frequency resources, a duty cycle, a number of transmission repetitions and / or a transmission power.

[0400] Optionally, the terminal enabling the first transceiver to receive LP-WUS may refer to the terminal being activated for low-power monitoring, i.e., activating LP-WUS monitoring. The terminal being activated for low-power monitoring may be: a network device issuing a display indication of activating low-power monitoring to indicate that the terminal is activated for low-power monitoring, or the terminal being activated for low-power monitoring based on a preset condition being satisfied. Exemplarily, when the terminal has no data transmission within a timer duration and detects that the LP-SS signal is higher than a predetermined threshold, the terminal is activated for low-power monitoring.

[0401] Optionally, LP-WUS can be the wake-up signal in the previous embodiment; the LP-WUS configuration can be the LP-WUS configuration in the previous embodiment; the parameter of LP-WUS can be the first parameter in the previous embodiment; the terminal is activated for power consumption monitoring can be the terminal is in the first state in the previous embodiment; the main receiver can be the second transceiver in the previous embodiment; the preset condition can be the predetermined condition in the previous embodiment.

[0402] Scenario 1: The network is configured with LP-WUS for a single BWP.

[0403] In some embodiments, the terminal enters the LP-WUS monitoring state or is activated for LP-WUS monitoring (the main transceiver is in a dormant state) only when the currently activated BWP is configured with LP-WUS configuration and the terminal is activated to use the first transceiver to monitor LP-WUS.

[0404] Optionally, if the terminal leaves the LP-WUS monitoring state on the activated BWP or LP-WUS monitoring is deactivated (for example, the main transceiver is woken up when LP-WUS is monitored), subsequent data monitoring is performed, including PDCCH scheduling execution and DCP monitoring.

[0405] For example, the primary transceiver may immediately monitor the PDCCH or perform DRX monitoring according to the DRX timing relationship. For example, the primary transceiver may start an onduration timer according to the DRX timing relationship to monitor the PDCCH, or directly start an inactivity timer (IAT timer) to monitor the PDCCH.

[0406] Optionally, if the current BWP is not configured with LP-WUS configuration, the existing behavior (i.e., monitoring according to DRX or DCP) is performed, that is, the terminal cannot enter the LP-WUS monitoring state (for example, there is no LP-WUS configuration on the BWP, even if there is no data transmission for a long time, the terminal main transceiver cannot be put into sleep).

[0407] Optionally, the network device configures an LP-WUS configuration for the currently activated BWP; the LP-WUS configuration is pre-configured before the terminal is activated to use the first transceiver to monitor the LP-WUS, such as pre-configured through RRC signaling.

[0408] Exemplarily, the network device configures an LP-WUS configuration for a certain BWP, and the frequency domain position of the LP-WUS configuration may be configured within the frequency domain range of the BWP or outside the frequency domain range of the BWP.

[0409] Optionally, the network device does not perform LP-WUS configuration for a dormant BWP, because the dormant BWP itself already has very low activity.

[0410] Optionally, the network device performs LP-WUS configuration for a default BWP, an initial BWP, or an activated BWP.

[0411] Optionally, the terminal enters the LP-WUS listening state or activates LP-WUS listening, which may be the case where the terminal is in the first state in the previous embodiment; the terminal leaves the LP-WUS listening state or deactivates LP-WUS listening, which may be the case where the terminal leaves the first state in the previous embodiment.

[0412] Solution 2: The network configures LP-WUS for a single cell.

[0413] In some embodiments, for a connected terminal, the network device performs LP-WUS configuration per cell (Per cell) on the terminal.

[0414] Optionally, the network device may configure a per-cell LP-WUS configuration; the network device may also configure at least one BWP for the terminal.

[0415] Optionally, the frequency domain position of the LP-WUS configuration of each cell (per cell) may be limited within the initial BWP, or may not be limited within the initial BWP range.

[0416] Optionally, if the terminal is activated to use the first transceiver to monitor LP-WUS, the main transceiver is dormant, and the first transceiver is turned on to enter the LP-WUS monitoring state; and / or, if the terminal leaves the LP-WUS monitoring state (for example, the main transceiver is woken up when LP-WUS is monitored), the main transceiver can immediately enter the PDCCH monitoring state or perform DRX monitoring according to the DRX timing relationship.

[0417] For example, the primary transceiver may immediately monitor the PDCCH or perform DRX monitoring according to the DRX timing relationship. For example, the primary transceiver may start an onduration timer according to the DRX timing relationship to monitor the PDCCH, or directly start an inactivity timer (IAT timer) to monitor the PDCCH.

[0418] In some embodiments, for a connected terminal, the network device configures LP-WUS configuration for the terminal on the MCG.

[0419] Optionally, the network device configures LP-WUS configuration for the BWP of the terminal in the primary cell of the MCG; that is, scheme 1 configuration is performed for the primary cell of the MCG.

[0420] Optionally, the network device configures LP-WUS configuration for the terminal in the primary cell of the MCG, that is, performs solution 2 configuration for the primary cell of the MCG.

[0421] The time-frequency domain location of the LP-WUS transmission is in the primary cell of the MCG.

[0422] Optionally, the network device configures an LP-WUS configuration for the terminal in the primary cell of the MCG. Exemplarily, the MCG is an NR node; configuring the LP-WUS configuration in the primary cell of the MCG of the terminal can be adapted to scenarios such as NR SA, NR CA, NR-DC and / or NE-DC. That is, the node where the MCG is located is an NR node at this time;

[0423] For example, for the DC scenario: if the terminal is activated to use the first transceiver to monitor the LP-WUS mode, it means that the monitoring behavior on the MCG and SCG is the same, for example, the MAC entities of the MCG and SCG both stop PDCCH monitoring; and / or, if the terminal is activated to use the first transceiver to monitor the LP-WUS mode (for example, LP-WUS is monitored), the main transceiver is woken up, and the MAC entities of the MCG and SCG both perform subsequent data monitoring.

[0424] Exemplarily, the MAC entity of the MCG and / or SCG performs PDCCH monitoring or performs DRX monitoring according to the DRX timing relationship. For example, the MAC entity of the MCG and / or SCG starts a duration timer for monitoring.

[0425] Exemplarily, for the CA scenario: if the terminal is activated to use the first transceiver to monitor the LP-WUS mode, it means that PDCCH monitoring is stopped on both the primary carrier and the secondary carrier; and / or, if the terminal monitors LP-WUS, the primary transceiver is woken up for subsequent data monitoring.

[0426] Exemplarily, the primary carrier and / or the secondary carrier performs PDCCH monitoring or performs DRX monitoring according to the DRX timing relationship. For example, the primary carrier and / or the secondary carrier starts a duration timer for monitoring or directly starts an inactivity timer for PDCCH monitoring.

[0427] In some embodiments, for a connected terminal configured with two DRX groups for carrier aggregation, the network device configures the LP-WUS configuration for the terminal on only one DRX group.

[0428] Optionally, if two DRX groups are configured, the monitoring behavior of all DRX groups is consistent. That is, when the terminal's main transceiver enters the dormant state, the cells of both DRX groups stop monitoring; and / or when the main transceiver is awakened, the cells of both DRX groups start monitoring.

[0429] Optionally, if two DRX groups are configured, when the terminal master transceiver enters sleep mode, cells in both DRX groups stop monitoring; and / or, when the master transceiver is awakened, cells in at least one DRX group may be awakened first and monitoring may be started.

[0430] Optionally, the LP-WUS configuration may be sent on the primary cell of the primary DRX group.

[0431] In some embodiments, for a connected terminal configured with two DRX groups for carrier aggregation, the network device may configure an LP-WUS configuration on each DRX group for the terminal.

[0432] Optionally, if two DRX groups are configured, the network device may configure LP-WUS configurations on the respective DRX groups for the terminal, so as to perform sleep and wake-up on the respective DRX groups.

[0433] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, and may also be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.

For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.
